You don't need to expand that thought much, to realise the number of innocents who would also suffer.
It's not about surrender, appeasement, collaboration or any of that shite - it's now about mitigation - helping those who didn't ask for this shitshow and had no say in it.
Free of tribalism, vindictiveness & hate, but at the same time, united, robust & with a single purpose - a single message for people to rally behind.
Don't be like the Tories.
Show compassion for those who got it wrong. They had their reasons, right or wrong.
